Lasko 758000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater Kw Per Hour Used? Does anyone know how many kwh THE Lasko 75800 Cyclonic Cermaic Heater uses per minute or hr?

V.Alden--I don't know, but I too am interested in efficiency per kwh. No one seems to address that issue in the reviews. I'm looking for a safe and efficient electric heater for my daughter's bedroom in her first apartment. I'm looking at this ceramic heater because it has good reviews and lots of them, and ceramic is supposed to be efficient. I like quartz heaters too. I'm trying to figure out which is best to keep the electric bill lower.

Your heater is a pure resistive load plus maybe a small motor and the switch says it will handle a 1 hp motor which is a much more demanding load. As some of the other answers noted, a heater should be fine. 800 watts is well within the range of load they specify. A 1500 watt heater will probably work fine too. Higher than that is asking for trouble (which will be refusal to shut heater off or failure to turn it on after a bunch of uses).If it doesnt work, buy a husky and hug it when you get out of the shower.

If you run it on the highest setting, it uses 1500 watts per hour which is 1.5 kilowatts. Our power company charges 7 cents per KWH (kilowatt hour) so if we run it on high for an hour, it costs us 10.5 cents an hour. If you use the lower settings, you use lower watts so the cost is less. Your electric bill should tell you how much you are being charged per KWH.

The heaters are rated for 208VAC to 240VAC and controlled by an external thermostat. I went to the manufacturer's website to get all info on their products. Amazon didn't have all sizes I needed. So, I order from distributor with best offer

My heater has been great so far. I've owned it for about a year and use it to heat my family room (20 x 13 ft). It keeps the room quite comfortable, but don't know how much energy it actual uses---just know that I rarely have to turn on my house heater which saves money.

Thank you for posting your question. If I understand you correctly you would like to know how much Lasko heaters cost. There are many listings for various models of Lasko heaters so I am unable to comment on the exact price. I have pulled up all the listings of Lasko heaters, here is a direct link for you to look at:

I had written to the company about this, they said 40W/hour.EDIT: I had written about three other models, not this one. The company is response to requests for information though, I suggest contacting them.

You can use the following formula to calculate how much it will cost to operate a 1,500-watt space heater (or any other electric equipment): Watts x hours of use 1,000 x cost per kilowatt-hour = cost of operation This means that if a 1,500-watt heater ran 24-hours at a rate of 7.57 cents a kilowatt-hour, the cost would be $2.73 a day (1,500 x 24 1,000 x $0.0757). For a month that would amount to $81.76 added to the electric bill of the average customer. source: conservingelectricity.com

Looks like it uses 1,500 Watts on High and 750 Watts on low. Depending on your temperature setting, how cold it is in the room for use and how high you have it turned on, this will change the amount of energy used. Let's say 10 hours per day turned on low at 750 watts = 7,500 watts total per day which is equivalent to 7.5kwh per day. 7.5kwh x 30 days = 225kwh per month. In Southern California we might estimate a cost of $0.20/kwh. So, 225kwh x $0.20 = $45/month cost to run the heater on low for 10 hours a day. One reviewer, J.D., wrote that his electric bill went up $100 in one month of using it so he probably had it on low all day long non-stop, or had it on high for extended periods of time.

http://www.daftlogic.com/information-appliance-power-consumption.htmI sent a link. The heater uses about the same wattage as a clothes dryer.

According to the online Lasko manual, "For increased efficiency, the Temperature Function will only run on High heat. When set on MAX, the Heater will run continuously." You can find this by searching "Lasko heater instructions 6405" and then clicking on their user manual link. I love the heater...it's attractive and very efficient, but I wish the Low setting worked for thermostatic control.

Forget @ using any of these units for heat. Look up an amp meter chart etc., compare what you heater will draw and divide the 1000 W and you will see the heater won't run for half an hour...a hair dryer will kill it quickly. This is strictly for lights, etc. Save it for medical equipment etc. in extended outages... maybe an occasional microwave use , etc. Even a computer charge will run it down. Be Careful how you use it. Also you can save a lot of power by using only lamps with the new twisted looking lamp bulbs .. Thet use @ 1/3 the power. Save the power for a quick sump pump need nothing continuous except lights. For heat, look into a small wall natural gas heater ( if you have gas heat ) @ $300. will heat 1000 sq feet quite well. Get a warm coat and blankets if the power may be out for days or you will be w/o lights too. Otherwise geta generator..note most condos won't allow them

The high setting on the heater is 1,500 watts which is equal to [1.5 kilowatts] - (kilo = 1000). Your electric company rate charge is based on "kilowatt hours usage" - the number of kilowatts of electric you use in one hour. What do you pay per kilowatt hour (usually around 9 - 12 cents per kilowatt hour is typical) - it should be listed on your bill? Multiply that "per Kilowatt hour rate charge" times 1.5 kilowatts (heater on high). Example: 1.5 X .10 = 15 cents "per hour."

It uses about 500 watts per hour. Utility departments usually charge by 1000 watts per hour (kilowatts per hour.) so it would take about 2 hours for 1 kilowatt rates per kilowatt ranges from 7 cents to 12 cents depending on your total electrical usage. In my case LADWP charges 7 cents for the first 350kwh 8 cents for the next 700kwh and 12 cents for the next 1050 kwh. So to find out how much your bill will increase multiply how many hours per day it will be use x the number of days in your electric bill cycle usually is 60 days x .08 cents (which is average for most people unless you use a lot of electricity. But check your bill statement) and then divide it by 2 as it takes 2 hours for 1kilowatt

I just started testing using a "kill a watt" meter($20) in cleveland. Skies that look like an ad for prozac. 65 watt max so far with 1killowatt hour accumulated over 1 week. My garage roof angle isn't the best(west). More data soon, follow up. Kw is a load measurement, kwhour is accumulated consumption.

Cost per time unit vary by market. We noticed no increase in our bill. We use it in my wife's bathroom in our 109 year old home. If you give me your local rate per KW HR, I can calculate the actual rate at the two power settings. This unit is far more cost effective than any electrical version with a blower fan.

This is an impossible questions to answer as it depends entirely on how many hours a day you have it on. If it is on continuously it uses 150 Watts per hour or 1,314 kWhrs (or units) of electricity per year. I have mine connected by a switch timer for about 3 hours a day from 6:30 am until 9:30 am. This reduce the units used to about 164 units per year. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to warm up the towels to a nice temperature and then one of us generally gets up about 7 am and the other 7:30. It could go off earlier if we were consistent when we get up but some days it is an hour later but as we are both retired it is somewhat random. If your use a timer which also has days of the week programmed you may only need to keep it on for 2 hours day timed for hone you get up. On weekends you could set it for a later start. Please remember that this towel warmer does NOT have a thermostat. It is not needed. I left on deliberately for 6 oto 8 hours to see how hot it would get with and without the towels on it. It does get hot but not in my humble opinion hot enough to burn you if you touched itbut you will know about about it. I was wanted to know what happened to the towels it did not get any where close to stroking them. Sorry for the long answer but your question needed a broader answer than you were probably expecting.
